I am the infinitesimal stars in the tranquil, terrestrial night
I am the scars minutes before the sunlit dawn...

Distances
by Michael R. Burch
Moonbeams on water?
the reflected light

now drowning in night...

Footprints on beaches
now flooding with water;

So near, yet so far.
A Surfeit of...

Neglect

amid the darkening oaks, we fled ourselves
Once there were paths that led to coracles

"Lizzie Borden took an axe,

Translation of Dante's Hell Canto Xv

And a thin spray on the brook is fixed,
So shield to rims and water is begot.
As Flemings, Cadsand and Bruges bewixt,
Fearing the high waves pouncing...

To Belong Is a Harmonious Bravery
A sense of belonging
Is amongst your nobility
Peaceably, truly longing
To give praise to You entirely
Take me all the way with your sway of youth
Give me physical poetry, please, beyond the truth
You are more priceless...

Leave - Me - Alone
Frankly bewildered…
I find life so absurd
Your serenity shines on
God, I want to be like your son
Why was I pushed in the margins?
Is it because of my abominable sins?
I threw them all away long ago…
